Patented Sept. 27, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT f ori-*ICE LEONARD C. FELSER,.OF MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO EAGLE PENCIL COM- v PANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE :lenirnronniinV Application led July 3', 1930. Serial No. 465,545.

This invention relates generally to pen holders and has for one of its objects the provision of a pen holder which contains within it a receptacle in which a supply of' eXtra pens can be carried, and to which access may y easily be obtained.

tures of which are pointed out in the appended claims, and a preferred embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this specification.

ln said drawing:

Fig. 1 is a side view of a pen holder containing the invention.

Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the lower end of a pen holder such as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Figs. 4 and 5 are sections on the lines 4 4: and 5--5 respectively of Fig. 2.

The device shown in the drawing comprises, generally stated, two parts which are for convenience designated as the grip A and the shaft B. The shaft may be of any desired material and shape, and, in the present instance, contains a tubular recess 10 in its largy er end constructed to have a sliding engagement with the portion 11 of a tubular shell 12. This shell is preferably of resilient material and of sufficient size to contain a number of pens. The ends of the shaft B containing the tubular recess 10 may be reinforced by a band 13 and the tubular shell 11 may be formed as at 14; to form one of the portions between which pens are inserted for use in writing.

Integral with the tube 11 are wings folded inward as indicated at 15 and shaped to provide resilient prongs or ribs 16 which cooperate with the portion 14 of the tube or shell 11 to rip a pen inserted in writing position.-

urrounding the shell 11 is a piece 17 of cork or any other suitable material of the desired thickness and shape to give a convenient grip for holding the pen holder in writ- 1n i(livhat may be termed the bottom for the interior pen receptacle may be formed in various ways but in the present embodiment this bottom consists of a piece 18 of wood, rubber or cork forced into the interior 12 of the shell. The receptacle is, of course, closed at its other end when the shaft B and grip A are put together as shown in the drawing.

In using the pen holder and particularly `to supply a new pen, all that is necessary to get access to the new pen is to pull the grip A and shaft B apart. This saves annoyance and loss of time involved in locating a fresh pen point and at the same time does away with all of the complicated mechanism found in prior attempts to provide pen holders containing magazines of eXtra pens.

From the foregoing it is apparent that certain changes and modifications can be made in the preferred form used to illustrate the invention, all of which modifications and changes come within the claims which follow.

Vhat is claimed is:

1. In an article of the character described, a grip portion including a shell of resilient material constructed to provide pen gripping portions within the shell and a tubular receptacle for holding an eXtra supply of pens, a partition member insertedwithin the tubular member and forming the bottom of the receptacle, and a shaft constructed to engage a portion of the shell and form a removable closure for the receptacle.

2. In an article of the character described, a grip portion, a tubular shell within the grip portion carrying devices within the shell for gripping a pen and of sufficient length to provide a receptacle for eXtra pens, said tube extending beyond the grip portion at the end opposite the gripping devices, a member inserted within the tube to form a bottom for the receptacle, and a shaft constructed to slidingly engage the extending end of the tube to form a closure for the pen receptacle.

3. An'` article of the character described comprising, a kgrip portion, a tubular shell Within and extending above and below the grip portion, Wings integral with the shell and formed Within the shell to cooperate with the inner Wall of the extension at tbe lower end of the shell to grip a pen, a partition Within the shell forming a bottom for a receptacle, and ashaft constructed to engage the upper end of the shell and form a, closure for the compartment within the shell.

In testimony whereof I hereto aiX my signature.
